What trends do you find absurd?

[Cecilie1200]

Piercings everywhere - saw a guy the other day who looked like he'd fallen face forward into a tackle box.

Thongs with low rise jeans - if I wanted to know about their underwear, I'd ask.

People wearing low rise jeans who shouldn't! I don't care if they're in style - if you're hanging out the top of them, wearing a tight top isn't going to make it less noticeable!

Baseball caps worn either backwards and sideways or forwards and sideways - either way, the IQ drops by at least 30 points.

Tattoos -

What rhymes with "cool"? FOOL!

Women who wear form-fitting hip-huggers in the wrong size. They're supposed to cling to the line of your body, not make you look like an overstuffed sausage casing. Wear them too tight, and they'll make an anorexic look fat.

Oh, and bra straps showing. If you can't wear a spaghetti-strap top without a bra, don't wear the top. It's not outerwear. I should NOT be able to see it.

I hate it when all the talking heads on TV news say "look," when what they really want you to do is "listen," and they ALL say it.

Oh, trends in word misusage. I could go on forever about that. My current non-favorite is the use of "less" when it should be "fewer". It seems like more and more people are doing this, including those who should know better.

And while we're on it, how about people in businesses who say, "May I help who's next?" It was one thing when it was just the idiot high-schoolers at the McDonald's, but the teller at my bank? And then I'm supposed to leave my money with this ignoramus?

You can shop at a place where people actually try to help you ?

Lots of businesses have their customers wait in line to be helped.

I actually typed the annoying phrase wrong, by the way. They always say, "CAN I help who's next?" Which just makes it worse.

Oh, whatever the current "buzzwords" are in a business setting also annoy me. Sometimes when sitting in a meeting, you can just listen to idiots that have no clue what they are talking about, so they just sprinkle their sentence with a few buzzwords.
I just want slap them and point out that they didn't really 'say' anything.

I gotta run down some dumb ass who is wearing a store uniform if I need assitance.

Ring pops. Like kids' hands don't get sticky enough.

Oh, if I need someone on the floor to actually answer questions about the products, I have to practically tackle them. I'm talking about at the checkout counter/teller window.

I can't imagine why they'd want to. I think the way teenaged girls dress these days is tacky. My style and my daughter's overlap only in the basic jeans-and-t-shirt category.

I wonder if the bloodshot veins on those breast-eyes are painted on...or maybe they are just their mammarian varicosities.

I think your "trends" may be off a few hundred years.

It was probably the liquor's idea that they do that.
